Hi Folks, I was asked why do I bother with using LOTW on VHF when its clear LOTW was never meant to confirm VHF+ QSOS as it was originally developed only for HF DXers and Contesters. It works Kinda q
I used to publish the VHF Directory where I gathered by hand who was active from where and printed it at a professional printer once a year. That was in the early 90s. I dont know of any complete rec
Thats why I published the VHF Directory in the 90s as no one knew who to look for in order to work new grids on 2M MS. Its a healthy task when none of the log data was available online as all we had

Hi Kim, So Very True! FT8 has taken over the world like a virus enters a body, first one, then two, then dozens of affected cells, until the host is overcome and suffering. FT8 has a place, but that
Hi, There has to be a better way in FT8 to ask folks to QSY to 144.2 or whatever. Work them on 6M ft8 and never see them on any higher band all weekend. No Need to use FT8 on 144, 222, and 432 MHz pa
I would use four separate feedlines as each has varying needs of acceptable feedline loss. 73s de Tim - K7XC - DM09jh... sk Adapt, Overcome, Succeed! _______________________________________________ V
